Ramadan Day 13: Verses from the Quran
Mon Oct 17, 2005 at 06:45:43 PM PDT
From the diaries, by PD. Short, sweet, and to the point. Peace be upon this diarist.
Each day during Ramadan, I am presenting a verse from the Quran with a few thoughts or comments. An introduction to this series is here. Inshallah (God willing), I hope that this may be of benefit to any who are interested in learning a bit more about Islam and Muslim belief.
Quran 13:28:
Those who have faith and whose hearts are satisfied in remembrance of Allah. Indeed, in remembrance of Allah is satisfaction for the heart
I just love this verse, I find it very beautiful.
I think it's connected to my signature that appears on my comments:
Riches does not mean having a great amount of property, but riches is self-contentment
This is a saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Often we come to think that money and possessions are necessary to a happy life. But it's inner peace that leads to true happiness.
For a religious person, the greatest peace can often be found through contemplation of God and the wonders of His creation and in prayer or meditation.
This is something that I strive to increase for myself because I do indeed find peace and satisfaction in the remembrance of God.
